Thread: Leaving Thailand

All the best mate

Always a shame to lose a good 'un, and of course the way Thailand is going we have been losing too many good expats for the decade I've lived here, and this process is only accelerating. All the best to you and yours helge.

There'll be thrilled when winter comes.

Best of luck,hope all goes well for you and family.

You just got there mate, so I suppose you are happy.

Have you thought it through, what are you going to do if the wife is not happy and is on her way back home. ?

Looks like you will return to Thailand and be miserable huh.

Just askin like.

Good luck Helge hope it works out, our nipper will be discovering an A/C garden soon

Good luck with that one mate.

So move from a 3rd world country that has 1st world services available to a 3rd world country that does not.

Aircon garden....nice.........dont look back, much better places out there than what thailand has become

I'll spot you a free ticket if you will join him.

I'll spot you a ticket the day you wake up and stop being the dumb arsed tourist with a twinkle in his eye...

I go to Siem Reap now for my occasional splurge outings in preference to Bangkok tez- much cheaper, much nicer. Mrs sab was reticent to go there at first- she had the usual Thai prejudice against the Khmer, but now she loves the place and loves the people ('just like us!'). Heck, she was even thinking of bringing in a few cambo workers, given how the Thai come and go. Frankly the shit that goes down in Bangkok has little to do with us up here in the boonies, but it's always nice to have a contingency plan if it all goes tits up.

Thats very nice but it's a tad different visiting there and actually living full time there.

Thats my point.

That's why you are a sad arsed fuk mate,

You need to realise that you are well in the minority, most farang quite enjoy their time here.

Get a fukin life will you.

Meanwhile, in a world far away- Malaysia targets cashed-up Australian retirees to boost economy - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) I wish those who purport to think they have the power of veto over everyone and anyones thoughts and decisions here, would realise Thailand does not exist in a vacuum. It's loss transates to others gain.

^^Funny how you cannot define or separate the 2......enjoy living there and the underlying issues....gain some credible experience....not fat dumb happy times...and get back to us when you're all grown up....now wheres this promised airfare cock

Jesus Christ Jeff,

Have you not got that cleft arsehole of yours operated on yet.

Too much dosh tied up in thailand to afford langkawi tez- but those five year hassle-free visa's are to dream about.

Peace of piss for you, you're not short of a few Bob given what you have told us regards your business acumen.

Langkawi is a top spot by the way.

Malaysia has tightened up their "my2ndhome" Visa .

Still light years in front of shitty Cambodia though.

...must be the subliminal English influence.
Siwalai.
